Interview With Kate Bezar Creator of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on.


Following my short article of Dumbo Feather, Pass it on, that i’d found at the Design Market
Comes an excerpt from the interview with Kate Bezar via theDesignfiles.net

Well loved Dumbo Feather Library

Well-loved Dumbo feather library

I get the feeling Kate Bezar is a bit of a dynamo.

It’s not just the incredible success she’s had with her stunning independent publication Dumbo feather in a fiercely competitive market….. (a magazine she started single-handedly five years ago and with no journalism experience, mind you). No, mainly, it’s the fact that just a few seconds of googling brings up so many varied accolades and creative collaborations that I begin to wonder if there might be 25 Kate Bezars.

But no, there’s only 1. And she’s here, here, here and even here.

And of course, she’s here! [thedesignfiles.net] Read on for an insight into the inspiring world of ‘editor, publisher & dreamer’, Kate Bezar. Thanks so much for your time Kate!”

Thedesignfiles: “Tell me a little about your background – what did you study and what path led you to what you’re doing now?”

“I’d almost bet I’m the first person with a Chemistry degree to grace your blog!

I think, like a lot of people, I never really knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. So, when I finished school, even though my best marks were in English and Painting, I thought the more sensible thing to do would be to study Commerce and Science. That lead me to a very sensible career as a management consultant working on projects for companies like banks and airlines, both of which I also used a lot; I flew ridiculous amounts and was paid ridiculously well. That was pretty seductive, but on some really fundamental level I knew it wasn’t what I was meant to be doing with my life, it wasn’t what I was passionate about.

I was volunteering at art galleries on weekends just to get my ‘fix’. Eventually I walked into a newsagent one night wanting to buy a mag but just couldn’t find what I wanted. I wanted to read about real people who’d found what they were passionate about in life and how they’d gone about pursuing it. When I walked out of that newsagent and I hadn’t found a mag but I had found what I was going to do. I was going to make a mag for people like me.”

  21. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to
    say. But maybe you could a little more in the
    way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or
    2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

  22. You really make it appear so easy with your presentation however I find
    this matter to be actually something which I feel I’d by no means understand.

    It sort of feels too complicated and extremely broad for me.
    I am looking forward for your subsequent submit, I’ll attempt to get the grasp
    of it!

  23. When someone writes an post he/she retains the plan of a user in his/her mind that how a user
    can be aware of it. So that’s why this post is amazing.

    Piano is usually the greatest reward that families could offer on their
    youngster. A colorful graph about the front in the shirt indicates the effectiveness of neighboring Wi-Fi signals,
    allowing you to find an optimal spot to connect before you
    even turn your laptop on. Instead of sitting in front
    of a box all day long, actually get your mind implementing
    things, practice a song, keep your brain active and it will stay active for you.

  47. I really like your blog.. very nice colors & theme. Did you make this website yourself or did you hire someone to do it for you?
    Plz reply as I’m looking to design my own blog
    and would like to find out where u got this from. thanks

    Piano courses are the greatest reward that families could offer to their youngster.
    Some of these classic TV shows were still being filmed in the 80s and were joined by precisely what are now also classic television shows
    we remember fondly yet still enjoy watching today.

    Instead of sitting in front of a box all day, actually get a mind taking care of things, learn a song,
    maintain your brain active and it will stay active for you.
